On April 7th, 1994 in Rwanda, the Hutu majority government committed one of the most heinous genocides in human history. In a span of just 100 days, an estimated 800,000 people were killed: approximately 70% of the Tutsi population. To mark 25 years since this atrocity, Westminster Chapel and Agape are privileged to be partnering for the UK premiere of the film 'Unforgivable' - an award-winning short documentary about the forgiveness and reconciliation that emerged from the genocide in Rwanda. The documentary is set in Summer 2017, Rwanda. Alice is now 45 and is a survivor of the genocide. For years she has lived consumed by pain and hatred. The last thing she ever expected was for her executioner to return to ask for forgiveness. Follow Alice's incredible story at the first UK screening of this documentary, which will feature live Q&A with the film's Director, Giosue Petrone and Producer, Mary Beth Minnis.
